I am so happy I came across this website and it happened by accident. I was just trying to find out some info for my girl. She violated her probation and was sentenced to 2 years. Hopefully she won't have to do the whole thing. But the hardest thing about it is that our relationship is long distance. She is out in California and I'm in NY. It is so hard not to hear her voice. Her lettes tell how scared she really is. It hurts me that she is hurting so much and I can't even go there to see her. I have to wait to get vacation from work. I am glad that I can vent my frustrations to those that know what I am going through. Although my family is trying to be supportive, none of them their significant other in jail. This website is such a blessing to have people like you all to reach out to others. I just hope that I too will be able to help out someone that needs help or just an ear.

Tiasgirl,

Aloha from Hawaii and welcome to PTO. Isn't it amazing how by some divine intervention we all were able to find our way here?

I am sure that you will find all that you are looking for here and even more. You won't find a more diverse, knowledgeable group of people anywhere else. Without a doubt, you will find you have much to share with others on these boards.

Hello and welcome Tiasgirl,
You are sure to find the support you need here. Try to be strong for your friend and until you can visit or she can call just keep writing her as much as possible. The letters will be a big help to the both of you.

Welcome to PTO and it's amazing how less alone we feel with this site.....

Deb

Welcome to PTO! come often and find all the support you'll ever need.

tiasgirl,

I am not quite so far as you but I am still a 14 hour drive away from my Partner - I know what you are going through! Many on here are quite a distance away and it is hard - but nice to know that there are good caring folks here to support and care for us when we are down!

Good to have you here and hope to see you around the site lots!

Thanks for all of your welcomes. How do I learn more about moving around this website. Teb being so far away sucks huh?

Hi Diane

I guess you're as for away from Tia as I am from Joey ! :( NY/CA or Paris/FL must be about the same distance I think. Yep, that sucks !!

That's why PTO is such a wonderful place to go to !! You can vent, cry, get support, give support, look for all kind of valuable informations and also share good laughters !! :)

Welcome again and all my best wishes
Phil

Thanks Phil,
I appreciate all the support this website is giving me. You're right, I've already received a whole bunch of info. Thanks again.

Diane

Diane,

Welcome to PTO :)
Sometimes I get down about the distance thing, too. It is tough having to be far away. I'm not across the county like you and Tia, but I miss my baby so much it feels like there's an entire country between us.

Hope you find a lot of love and support here. I have only been here a month, and I know I have!

Jill

hi tiasgirl...
I'm late, but wanted to offer a welcome too! :)

I'm in a long distance relationship as well.... NC/MI, so I know how you feel!
Glad you found us though, there's lots of support here!

Jodygirl

Thanks for the welcome Jodygirl. Being far away sucks big time huh? I am so addicted to this site. There is so much info here and great support.

Ok, ok, I would be late to my own birthday!

Anyway, Welcome to PTO!

This is a great bunch of people and so much love and support.

Welcome to the PTO family!

Patti

Thanks Patti. Better late than never.

welcome....its a nerve racking thing not knowing what is happening to our loved ones inside and not being able to pick up the phone and hear our loved ones voice. We take alot things for granted. I surfed my way here to PTO...this is where my wave took me. There is alot of info and lots of support here. Being alone and affraid is the worst thing for anyone to go through, but here at pto, we have each other.
